These 22 Photos Of New York In The 1960s Are Mesmerizing

We’re currently living in an age where we have a new model of everything coming hot off the press every 30 seconds. We want new and better things, and we want them now! Every so often we like to remind ourselves of just how much things have changed and how we genuinely enjoy reflecting on the past and all of our heartfelt memories. Ready to take a trip back in time? Here are 22 photos from New York in the 1960s that will leave you completely mesmerized!

1. A New York City model sporting the most chic of trends, the 1960s retro-style eyeliner.

Our hearts are breaking just a little to see this vintage photo! It was only several years ago that the hotel which inspired the movie Dirty Dancing was burnt to the ground in a horrible fire. We appreciate photos like this so much!

7. A steady flow of traffic in 1968 on State Street in Albany!

8. Looks like someone, well maybe everyone, had a little too much fun at the 1969 New York festival, Woodstock!
